Programming video card (ATI card w/ s-video & tv-out) Need direction to correct info

Post by Kyle » Mon, 25 Dec 2000 18:59:20



Hi,
    I hope some people read this and can help me out.

I have a ATI Rage Pro pci video card that has s-video and tv-out. I want
to be able to use the s-video and tv-out on the card. Now, is this down
by the app(like what I find on Video4Linux) or is it in Xfree86?

I want to know if there has been a driver developed which accesses the
s-video and tv-out on the ATI card. If so, a pointer to the source would
be great.

If not, then I would like to know how would I go about to use the
s-video and tv-out. I just need some clarification on if the actual app
would take care of loading up the s-video interface and tv-out interface
or if it is the actual video card driver(Xfree86?).

Thanks for any help in advanced and if it isn't too much trouble, can
you also cc: you rhelp to my e-mail?

Gracias!

K.

1. Which TV card for RGB/SCART/S-Video input from a console?

And one with stereo sound?  You've probably been asked this ULONG_MAX
times before, but I can't find an answer to my specific question.

You see, most consoles nowadays output in RGB/SCART or S-Video/SCART
as well as the traditional composite.  Is there some way of putting
this higher quality output into a TV card so I can hack/play at the
same time?

I'm looking at the Pinnacle Miro Video PCTV range at the moment,
although the PCTV RAVE only does mono sound, which is useless to me
(although I could redirect the ear-phone port on the console into my
sound cards line in...)  Anyone know if the PCTV+ or whatever its
called has stereo sound?

Any other suggestions?

It's got to be Linux-compatible, of course...

I've got a Creative SB-Live and latest everything (self-compiled) if
that helps.

Thanks very much.
